In 2009 I bought a 2007 BMW 335 for $20,500. The car had 30k miles on it and a window sticker of $45k when new. It was a manufacturer's buyback. The car now has 60+k miles and I haven't had a single problem with it. I had done my research and knew that BMW had a problem with fuel pumps on some of the turbocharged models. It appeared to me that the problem had been resolved by the manufacturer, but not before a lot of them had been bought back under lemon laws. BMW had extended the warranty on the fuel pump to 120k miles, even on cars that were bought used, so I figured I couldn't go wrong unless it broke down in the middle of nowhere, which is definitely something to consider. In any case, so far so good, and I consider it one of the better buys I ever made.
I see a similar situation now with the JGC eco-diesel. I see several on E-Bay at good prices, and when you look closer you see that they are buybacks. Reviewing this forum I'm guessing that the "wrong" DEF/Cat Converter problem is causing lots of them to be bought back. Looks to me that most who have had the converter replaced have experienced no more problems.
So should I buy one? It's hard to pass up a 2014 JGC eco-diesel for less than $30k if the issue has been resolved.
